Holiday Jewelry Gift Guide: Diamonds and Nails in Your Stocking

November 21, 2014August 2, 2016

OBJ‘s Holiday Gift Guide continues. This week we’re inspired by the Cartier Juste en Clou Collection, which translates from the French as “Just a Nail.” This popular collection in 18K gold and diamonds celebrates the common household nail. The Cartier nail motif jewelry debuted in the 1970s and was reissued in 2012, with prices ranging from $2,100 to $34,650.

1970s Redux

According to Cartier, Juste en Clou is “an unhindered transformation with a remarkable strength…the expression of a rebellious nature and the reflection of self-belief.” If sales figures are any indication, many rebellions souls from the ‘70s are returning to this tough-love symbol of their youth. And a new crop of jewelry fans is embracing the nail — often for engagement and wedding rings.
